Encounters — Street Portraits is a documentary street portrait photography project developed through spontaneous encounters in public spaces across different cities and cultural contexts.
The work focuses on brief human exchanges that take place in the street — moments in which proximity, curiosity, and mutual attention allow a portrait to emerge.
Unlike long-term projects rooted in a single community or location, this series brings together images created during unplanned meetings across various journeys. What connects them is not geography, but a shared condition of presence.
Although shaped by the rhythm of street photography, none of these portraits are taken without consent. Each image is preceded by a short interaction — a gesture, a few words, a moment of recognition — before the photograph is made.
